Program Description

This degree explores how people develop and learn throughout their lives. It will examine social, cultural, and political aspects of education while considering questions such as: what is education; who is education for; and is education socially just? You will explore education in its broadest sense with modules focused on international education, economic relationships, the effects of globalization and the role of education in human rights and ecological issues. You’ll examine in-depth the nature of knowledge, our desire to know and understand, and the ways that education contributes to society. You will learn how to analyze educational policies, processes, systems, and approaches, and critically examine their impact on society, politics, culture, history and economic contexts. Each year provides a key focus that will lend to you thinking as an educationalist. In Year One, the course provides a solid grounding for understanding the multi and interdisciplinary nature of education. Multidisciplinary in the way that it draws from Sociology, Psychology, Philosophy and Politics, and interdisciplinary in the way that it includes specialized educational fields of study. In Year Two, the course will cement your theoretical knowledge as you think about how your own research could contribute to the field of education. Year Two is dedicated to placement activity. Placements can be in a wide range of educational settings, locally, regionally, nationally or internationally. In Year Three, you’ll conduct research for your dissertation and continue to gain experience and develop a portfolio. This will be completed alongside a review of contemporary issues facing education.
